Lost 1.18 "Numbers"

Yes! Perfect! I love that. I like so much about this show, but dammit, I missed the first 20 minutes of last night AND my Tivo didn’t record it, and i’m already confused!

Man, I get no respect (See post #59).

If I were Hurley’s mom and somebody gave me a 5,000 sq. ft. mansion, the first thing that would go through my mind would be “How the hell am I going to keep this place clean?”

Did somebody say something? I thought I heard a vague whisper.

People, you’re running off in all sorts of wrong directions with the transmission thing.

The hand radio they tried to use (the one they got from the cockpit) couldn’t reach its satellite receiver because the CFL’s transmission was drowning it out. That’s one strong damn signal.

The CFL’s transmission wasn’t being responded to because… actually, we don’t know why. Something strong enough to drown out another transmission, even if it’s just a Jerry Colonna song, or that soccer announcer yelling “GOOOOOOAAAAALLLL!!!”, is going to draw some attention, and people are going to be coming by to shut the thing down, because it’s a menace to things, like, say, emergency radios kept in the cockpits of jetliners. That hasn’t happened, so, whatever is going on with the radios, it makes no sense whatsoever.

Let’s keep focused on scantily-clad castaways, hmmm?

Post # 198 is gonna get overlooked, I know it! (I hate Lost Doping at the end of a page, it always ends up ignored.)

:slight_smile:

If scantily clad was the only thing on our minds, we’d be watching America’s Next Top Model on UPN instead.

Did anybody see Mad Tv’s Lost parody this weekend?

Micheal McDonald did a good Locke and Paul Vogt playing Hurley was pretty good.

The rest was pretty lame.

Although I did like the part about them running into the guy from Survivor and then doing his flashback.

I only watch one thing on UPN, and when that’s gone UPN will cease to exist for me.

And Survivorr already got rid of the big tittie girl. :frowning:

I NEED a non pregnant nearly nude Claire!

When Hurley blew up at CFL, she had this expression of surprise on her face.

I was wondering how many viewers had it too.

I mean, this was Hurley raising his voice…

wow…

Was Claire inside the box? Is that what caused her amnesia? Would a pregnant woman pack a bikini for a flight to LA? Can a man be called “obsessed” when he hasn’t been near something for several episodes? :smiley:

Ah, yes…

Much better now…

Cigarrette?

well, thank goodness I heard it wrong. I honestly thought he said “short brown,” which would have been really bad!

Something that occured to me on the way home: Where did Danielle get the ordinance? Where did she learn to fashion booby-traps? A simple snare like the one that caught Sayid is one thing. Pressure-release triggers and C-4 are another! Did she steal explosives from the “Others?”

First of all, it’s “ordnance” – an ordinance is a rule, ordnance is what you use to break a rule. It looked to me like it was a pre-fabricated mine, like something a platoon might bring with them if they expected to need to cover their tracks. The pressure plate was a little bit too sophisticated to have been made on the island, though. But remember, whoever set up that transmission tower (!) has a serious set-up.

Do we know which generation of castaways Ethan belongs to? He’s clearly not a 3rd-generation like Locke, but I’m not sure if he showed up with Rousseau or not. 16 years… he could have been born on the island.

Did anybody else think that the bowl that Locke asked Claire to hand him was the same stuff he used on Boone.

The way the episode played out, I’d say no, but that was my first thought.

I figured the reason Locke asked Claire to help him was to convert her to his group.

When Locke made the cradle for Claire, I got all verklempt and I had already guessed he was making a cradle from some spoiler pic I saw.

I hope the fact that it was hinted at that Hurley was in the looney bin means we will get a little more backstory on him.

Do what I do: say it anyway! To wit:

No! Ni, ni, back of the throat.

Anyway, the fact that the five “regular” lottery numbers (as opposed to the “powerball” which was 42) are less than or equal to 26 made me think they could correspond to letters. By translating them and shifting the cypher, the closest thing I could get to anything interesting was “QUBCK” (which is, of course, the sound a French Canadian duck makes). Oh, well.

Was I the only one hoping that the secret Hurley was going to tell Charlie was why he’s called Hurley?

I think it’s pretty obvious what silenus meant was, "Who drafted the concealed-weapons-permit legislation on Danielle’s behalf, what was the vote like at the city council, and how many revisions to the language were necessary before the mayor or city manager approved it?

I’m pretty sure Hurley was IN the mental hospital rather than an employee of it. Just before he goes in to meet with Leonard, the doctor says something to the effect of, “I don’t remember you being friends with Leonard.”
